Unable to check my PC's compatibility with Windows 11

Hello,

I can't test to see if my PC is compatible with Windows 11.
When I click on check now for the PC Health Check, it tells me "your organization manages this PC."

However, my PC belongs to me; it was running regular Windows 10 but I upgraded to W10 Education because I was a student and my university offered me a free key.

What should I do?
Best regards

Configuration: Windows 10 Education / Chrome 91.0.4472.114

    Hello,

    I don't understand why you all are rushing towards Windows 11, especially since Windows 10 will be supported until 2025; a PC that is 2 or 3 years old today will be 6 or 7 years old, and the hardware requirements for Windows 11 are considerable for improvements that are hard to discern.

    If the education license is not essential for accessing the institution (domain and so on), we also don't see the point if the previous Windows 10 license was valid.

    But that is not the issue at hand.

    In terms of deployment, Windows 10 Education functions like Windows 10 Enterprise: it is the institution that holds the volume license that is responsible for it.

    A similar but more classic problem will be observed on a number of OEM PCs, on which Windows delegates maintenance and updates to the sole discretion of the manufacturer HP, Acer, or whoever it may be.

    Hello,

    You can use a small (unofficial) utility WhyNotWin11 that does not require installation.
    Direct download link.
    Tested virus-free.

    What is well conceived is clearly stated,
    And the words to say it come easily.

      Your school has managed this PC
      Windows 11 issue "Your school has managed this PC": how to fix it 

      Windows 11 will be publicly released in a few months and everyone is eager to get their hands on the new operating system. It features a new Start menu, the ability to install Android apps natively, and a frosted glass-themed aesthetic to give it a futuristic look.
      If you are using a Windows system managed by the organization and you tried to check your PC's compatibility with the upcoming operating system, you would have received a message saying "Your school has managed this PC." What does this mean? Can you actually upgrade to the next operating system? Let's find out! 

      What is the "Your school has managed this PC" issue? 
      This message appears when your Windows installation is managed by your school's administrators. Windows allows administrators to control various aspects of the operating system and remove or add certain features based on students' needs. Since you are using a computer for school issues, you receive this message.

      Resolving the issue: Check with your school's administrator
      This entirely depends on your organization. In the current scenario, no, you cannot upgrade to Windows 11 yourself even if you manage to recover the leaked ISO somehow.
      Windows installations will likely be blocked on your device since you received this message when checking compatibility with Windows 11. Your administrators may choose to upgrade your machines with the new operating system in the future, but it will be entirely up to them.
      As of June 27, 2021, Windows 11 had only been announced in the Dev Insider version. It is expected to be available to the public later in 2021. Once it is available to everyone, your school may also decide to upgrade students' systems to Windows 11, and that is when you will be able to obtain the update by simply following the update prompts - you won't need to install it manually using an ISO or anything.

      Can you bypass the "Your school has managed this PC" message? 
      Unfortunately, no, you cannot easily bypass this message without taking drastic measures. As such, these workarounds are meant for PCs with messy and buggy installations where the group policies are incorrectly modified to make the PC appear as if it's managed by an organization.
      In rare cases, malware could have also infected your files and changed registry values that led to this message. If you suspect this is the case, we may have a solution for you soon. Stay tuned.


      Stay tuned

      Edit :

      The direct download link is not working.

      The download should be made from this site: https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

    Hello,
    please check manually.
    For compatibility with Windows 11:

    - You need to enable TPM in the BIOS; its version must be 2.0. To check if it’s enabled and its version, press the Windows and R keys simultaneously, a window will appear. Copy/paste tpm.msc and then click OK.

    - The graphics card must be DirectX 12 and have a WDDM driver version 2. To check if it’s good for you, copy/paste DXdiag in the search box, a window will appear. In the System tab, you'll see the version of DirectX, and in the Display tab, the version of WDDM.

    - You need to have "secure boot" enabled in the BIOS.

    - The BIOS must be UEFI.

    You also need to ensure that the processor is compatible; not all are supported. Intel CPUs are only supported from the 8th generation onwards. See the list of supported processors:

    Hi

    The alternative tool works.
    However, my processor is an i3-5005u, and the tool shows all tested items in green except for the processor, which is in yellow.
    Does that mean I'm disqualified for Windows 11, or just that the processor is not ideal?
